Skinny gripped telescopic poles? Help!

I might suck, but I've been searching quite a bit for poles that have that Line-type skinny, round grip, and are telescopic.

I've had a pair of Pin Poles for almost three seasons now, and I don't really see myself using a normal grip again.

I'm not sure, but I think Armada might a made a pair a while back? And maybe even Line themselves?

Clues anyone? +K for leads.

They'll be too weak, don't get telescopic poles

I have the K2 Party Poles (they are telescopic) and they have a pretty skinny grip ... still not like a line pole but I wouldn't say they feel too chunky either

Get a telescopic pole and put the line grip on it. Nobody makes as skinny grips.

This. Skiing with telescopic poles, especially in the park, is really obnoxious. Every time you try to get a good push they collapse. In deep snow its as bad.

Already have a pair of poles for park and groomers, the Pins. Want telescopic because of skinning obviously. I'll probably buy two pairs of used and combine them into what I want then.

Is it possible to remove the grips on the darts? Unfortunately Im not seeing any viable ways to do it.

2-3 of my friends ski with these:

The grip seems pretty skinny to me on the rare occasions I've used them. As a bonus they are park length in their shortest mode so they can't slip when pushing in the park but can be lengthened for groomed/pow days.
